What an Egg Will Do.

For burns and scalds, nothing is
more soothing than the white of an
egg, which may be poured over the
wound. 1t is softer as a varnish for
burn than collodion, and being
always at hand. can be applied. 1t is
also more cooling than the sweet oil
and cotton seed. which was formerly
supposed to be the surest application
to allay smarting pain. 1t is the con-
tact with the air which gives the ex-
IRENE discomfort experienced from
the ordinary accident of this kind, and
any thing that excludes the air and
prevents Inflammation, is the thing to
be at once applied. The egg is
considered one of the best remedies for
dysentery. Beaten up slightly, with or
without sugar, and swallowed at a
galp. it tends, by its emollient quail
tiles. to lessen the inflammation of the
stomach and lntestines, and by form
ing transient coating on these organs.
to enable nature to resume healthful
sway over diseased body. Two, or
at most. three eggs per day, would be
all that is required in ordinary cases;
and since egg is not merely medicine,
but food as we'll. the lighter the diet
otherwise and the quieter the patient
is kept, the more rapid the recovery

In Union Is Strength.

There is power in organization, and
inasmuch as other classes are thor.
oughly organized to advance their own
interests by cooperating together, is
it not the height of folly for farmers
to suppose for moment that they can
sustain themselves ingle-handed in
an unorganized condition. They are
simply at the mercy of organized
power, and must yield obedience to
the dictations and demands of those
who are organized, and pay the ex-
acted tribute, just or unjust, as it may
be, without recourse. Seventy-fve
thousand soldiers properly organized,
drilled and disciplined, will put to
flight one million who may under
take to fight single-handed and
unorganized. 1t is equally
as fruitless for farmers to undertake to
cope, single-handed and unorganized,
with organized bodies in the race of
life; they cannot hold their own, nor
sustain their rights, nor hold their
equality among men until they. too, be-
come as thoroughly organized as
others with whom they deal and COM
pete in the affairs of life. This is a
progressive age We live in an age of
progress, an age of speed and rapid
advancement by steam and electricity,
IN an age OF struggle for wealth, pow
er and control. History teaches, and
experience has demonstrated, that the
class best organized makes the great
est advancement and becomes the
victor in the contest. -Mortin,or White

Grape Leaves for Pickles.

fresh, green grape leaves to put on top

leaves were much nicer, 50 / tried

change them once a week, and the
vinegar keeps sharp and clear, and it
imparts nice flavor to the pickles. I

them drain quite dry, then lay them
over every place in the jar. They ex-

Sea Island Cotton.

A Charleston merchant says: 1.-THE
long staple cotton raised on the sea
islands of Carolina seems to be very
little in demand. Few planters have
sold their last years crop. This class of
cotton was formerly used to adulterate
silks, but all at once the demand for it
has ceased and no one is able to give a
reason for it. 1t brought forty cents a
pound, more than four times as much
as the ordinary cotton, which by the
new and improved machinery, can be
used for thread and other purposes al
most as well as the long staple. Idon't
see what is going to become of our sea
islands planters, unless they can find
some new market for their yield. now
that the silk manufacturers have found
something cheaper to adulterate their
goods with. "--Sugar Bowl.'

mont's Strange Soubriquet.
The nickname .sWoolly Horse" applied
to General Fremont in the campaign OF
1855 recalled to my mind story told me
by an old Washingtonian about the origin
of the strange sou briquet writes cor
respondent in the Philadelphia Record. II
seems that after Fremont had first an
nounced to the world his discoveries in
the great West Philadelphia Snowman,
Of tricky and speculative turn, under
took to exploit Lieutenant Fremont's
discoveries and at the same time make a
little money for himself. So he cana
down to Washington, Congress being
then In session, and hiring a
shop on the avenue, proceeded
to advertise and exhibit "Lieutenant
Fremont's woody horse, captured by the
gallant explorer in the very heart of the
Rocky mountains at the risk Of his life. I"
OF course, it was only an ordinary, every.
day horse, with patches of wool stuck on.
But it took, and the Snowman began to
make money on it. One fac day Senator
Benton, Fremont's father-ln-law heard Of
the humbug, and started out, vowing to
drive it out Of town before evening. TAX.
ing brother Senator with him, he
marched at once to the enemy shop. The
Snowman, who was standing outside the
door, and who knew him perfectly well,
had the impudence to go right on with his
lecture. He even went so far as to say TO
the crowd:
"Here is Lieutenant Fremont's father
in-law, Senator Benton. Won't you wa Tx
in, Senator, and take your friend with
you1 1t won't cost you cent"
''Come inside" said Benton sternly,
handing him ono dollar, and striding in
with his friend; "where is this animalr'

''stopp said Benton, in tone that had
often made the Senate chamber ring; sit
you don't take that fraud out of town be-
fore dark I'll make you wish that you had

The impudence of the man was fright
ened out of him by Benton's severity and
earnestness. 'rll CO." he said, and went
that evening.
